at feasts
A round cake or loaf, typically of bread, characterized by a circular or ring shape; sometimes carrying connotations of being a food for ritual, hospitality, or festivity. Secondarily, in later Hebrew, the word also comes to indicate a parasite or hanger-on at a banquet (i.e. one who attends a feast for personal gain, often in a buffoonish or flattering capacity).

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
a round cake
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'round bread-loaf' is unnecessarily specific; SILEX specifies 'a round cake or loaf,' and here, the sense is a round cake, frequently a term for those who hang around feasts. Adjusted to 'a round cake' for conventionality and clarity in context. |
